Nintendo Offers Metroid And Mother 3 Fans Some Very Slight Hope

I love me some Metroid but relative to other Nintendo series it is niche. It can't hold a candle to the selling power of Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Super Mario, etc. Zelda's a bigger seller. Smash is a bigger seller. Heck, Splatoon is a bigger seller, based on what we've seen so far.

Its not about selling power. Its about showing fans that Nintendo is serious about making quality games and not just the annual franchises and the same old.

OK, but your original post seemed to suggest that Nintendo, by ignoring Metroid, was ignoring a large number of sales. I think the highest-selling Metroid game failed to clear 3 million units sold. 

What annual franchises? We got a Zelda game in 2011, 2013, and now 2017. Smash Bros. in 2001, 2008, and 2014. Mario Kart in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and now 2017. Animal Crossing in 2005, 2008, 2013, and, in 2015, a couple spin-offs. 

Same old? What about Splatoon, which cleared 4 million units sold? Mario Maker? Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.? What about Arms, which will arrive on Switch shortly?

Nintendo's first party includes racers, fighters, sims, strategy games, action-adventure games, platformers, lots of RPGs, puzzle games, party games, shooters, and sports games.

What exactly are you looking for?
